This was his second album for Alfred Lion, and it brings together an exceptional hard-bop cast: J.J. Johnson on trombone, Horace Silver on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Blakey on drums, with Thelonious Monk joining on two of his own compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat line-up matters because the album really does play like a meeting of major jazz voices rather than a routine blowing session. Rollins opens with his own fast-moving originals, including “Why Don’t I?” and “Wail March,” then shifts into Monk’s “Misterioso” and “Reflections,” where the composer’s guest appearance at the piano gives the record some of its sharpest character. The closing standards, “You Stepped Out of a Dream” and “Poor Butterfly,” round out a set that moves easily between bebop drive and a more relaxed, conversational swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this Tone Poet edition, the attraction is not just the music but the care given to the presentation. The reissue is part of Blue Note’s audiophile Tone Poet series, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, and pressed at RTI, making it a particularly appealing way to hear one of Rollins’ strongest Blue Note sessions on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLP, 33RPM, 180g, Mono, Blue Note Tone Poet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced by Joe Harley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original analog master tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at RTI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe tip-on gatefold jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003ea timeless session and a milestone in jazz history\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/sonny-rollins-vol-2-mw0000668085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAllMusic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide A                       \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
